Troubleshooting

Towel rail not heating up

Ensure the central heating system is on and functioning. Check that the radiator valves are fully open. Use the bleeding valve to release any trapped air within the rail.

Leaking from connections

Turn off the water supply to the rail immediately. Check that all connections are securely tightened. If the leak persists, contact a qualified plumber.

Towel rail makes noise (gurgling)

This usually indicates trapped air. Use the bleeding valve to carefully release the air until water begins to flow out, then close the valve.

Reduced heating output

Check for trapped air using the bleeding valve. Ensure no large items are blocking the towel rails, impeding heat circulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This towel rail is exclusively designed for central heating systems. It requires connection to your home's hot water circulation system. Ensure your existing plumbing can accommodate the pipe centres (550mm) and that you have adequate pressure for optimal performance.

Setup: Installation involves securely mounting the rail to the wall using the provided fixing kit. It must be plumbed into your central heating circuit. Due to the nature of plumbing and central heating systems, professional installation by a qualified plumber is highly recommended to ensure safety and prevent leaks. The included bleeding valve is essential for releasing trapped air after installation.

Care: To maintain the matt black finish, clean the towel rail with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. Periodically check wall fixings for security. Use the bleeding valve to release any accumulated air if you notice reduced heating efficiency.
